Council to get powers to curb bookies blight in town centres

Councils will be given new powers to help prevent new clusters of betting shops opening across town and city centres.

Bookmakers will have to submit planning applications for new shops which will allow local authorities, like Bradford Council, a chance to refuse permission if they are felt to be detrimental to shopping streets.

The move, announced by the Government yesterday, comes as the Department for Culture, Media and Sport said communities had expressed concerns about the clustering of betting shops on some high streets.

The existing planning system classes a betting shop in the same category as a bank or estate agent, meaning they can open without the need for a planning application.

The changes will mean councils can scrutinise the applications and refuse them where there are grounds to do so.

In July 2012, the Telegraph & Argus started a campaign called Beat the Betting Blight campaign calling for local authorities to be given exactly those powers.

Val Summerscales, secretary of Bradford Chamber of Trade, said last night: “We are absolutely delighted that somebody is finally waking up to the problem. It is a step in the right direction, especially where there are clusters of shops.

“Local authorities should be able to assess these matters. It is a sensible way forward, especially where several have been allowed to open in an area like Bradford city centre.

“It is something we have been campaigning for, for a long time.”

Councillor Val Slater, the Council’s executive member for housing, planning and transport, said: “We have had concerns about the number of betting shops in Bradford. Up until now we have not had the powers to stop them.

“What we need is a balanced and vibrant high street, without being dominated by any particular shop, particularly betting shops.”

The Right Reverend Tom Butler, who is acting Area Bishop of Bradford, said: “I support any effort which reverses the trend of our high streets becoming a series of betting shops.”

David Ward, MP for Bradford East, also backed the changes and criticised what he described as “proliferation” of betting shops and high-value gaming machines, which will also be subject to change.

He said: “No doubt they offer a wonderful form of entertainment for many people, and who is to say how people should enjoy their time. But I know people have come to my surgery because of gambling problems.

“I don’t think it adds to the high street to have a parade of betting shops. If we do have local discretion, it is a good thing.”

However, Shipley MP Philip Davies said: “I agree with localism so I do not have a problem with decisions being given to local authorities. What I would be concerned about is if Bradford Council does not like bookmakers would it have empty shops instead?

“If it was a choice between Ladbrokes, William Hill or Marks & Spencer, then it would be Marks & Spencer. But if the choice is do you want an empty shop or a betting shop, then you would want a betting shop every time.”

The Government also set out plans to improve protections for players on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBTs), including making those who want to bet more than £50 in one play to pay over the counter, meaning that they have to interact with staff.

Coun Slater said: “Anything that helps us control that and makes for a better high street is welcomed.”

Planning Minister Nick Boles said: “This is part of a wider set of measures designed to get empty and redundant buildings back into productive use and make it easier for valued town centre businesses like shops, banks and cafes to open new premises, while giving councils greater powers to tackle the harm to local amenity caused by a concentration of particular uses.”

I was surprised to hear a union leader on the radio last week bemoaning the crackdown on these betting terminals. One of the big chains (think it was William Hill) announced they were closing shops where councils had stopped them installing machines and the shops had become unprofitable.
Let's face it, if the unions are against these closures then there's no chance the council will do anything about it!

Bradford might be the capital of these machines because BBC 5 Live was interviewing Bradford punters yesterday morning. One bloke said he'd lost £100 in half an hour because 'he didn't have anything else to do'!

I don't agree with Philip Davies's take on betting shops, like all major cities Bradford has more than enough of these outlets, much better to keep other retail outlets not in use for other types of businesses. At a time when Bradford's regeneration is at full steam ahead this is a good time to say thanks but no thanks to any more betting shops in the city and these new government rules will certainly help in that.

People are poor because that is their choice. Rich people are at the top of society because they work hard, poor people do not. People like you; communists, socialists, liberals should be jailed for life.

Well there is that but it isn't like he failed to declare his £10k of "benefits" when he chaired an all party select committee on gambling is it? What's that he didn't say anything because he didn't think he needed to? Well the man's either an idiot or a corrupt barstuard. Which do you think it is? Is there any record of corruption within the Tory party?

Socialism, Communism, mmmm, it invented corruption.

I suspect gambling is another subject you know nothing about.

Come on if you're getting paid to comment put some effort into it at least.

One thing for sure if your getting paid to comment, they are not getting value for money.

If I were getting paid I'd have more chance of getting out of the house more and less chance of commenting. Just something for you right wingers to think about as you are incapable of winning any arguments with me due to the right wing being so obviously corrupt and devoid of reason that you don't have a leg to stand on.

If you were getting paid, would you declare it? and not claim as much as you do.

Yes as I'm entitled to theraputic earnings up to a certain level but not enough that I would stop pointing out what scum the right wing were. This wouldn't however effect my entitlements not that it would make a blind bit of difference to the level of tax you pay if it did. so If paid more than that allowance I would be busy enjoying my life for a bit. How much were you thinking of offering?
I believe Tories charge about £4k to ask a question so what's a comment worth?

You see unlike yourself it isn't all about me. I'm not in it for financial gain. I want a fairer society because if society is corrupt and ridiculously unequal then we are all poorer for it. This is my country and I will fight to make it a fairer country for all.

Doesn't the fact that you constantly get voted down tell you something?

Yes that either the general public are totally stupid or the thumbs system is being manipulated in order to give a false perception of public opinion. I believe it to be the latter. Hello Shipley Conservative club.

The only safe bet in Bradford is that Philip Davies MP (sponsored by the gambling industry) will back the gambling industry.

Well there is that but it isn't like he failed to declare his £10k of "benefits" when he chaired an all party select committee on gambling is it? What's that he didn't say anything because he didn't think he needed to? Well the man's either an idiot or a corrupt barstuard. Which do you think it is? Is there any record of corruption within the Tory party?

Socialism, Communism, mmmm, it invented corruption.

I suspect gambling is another subject you know nothing about.

Come on if you're getting paid to comment put some effort into it at least.

One thing for sure if your getting paid to comment, they are not getting value for money.

If I were getting paid I'd have more chance of getting out of the house more and less chance of commenting. Just something for you right wingers to think about as you are incapable of winning any arguments with me due to the right wing being so obviously corrupt and devoid of reason that you don't have a leg to stand on.

If you were getting paid, would you declare it? and not claim as much as you do.

Yes as I'm entitled to theraputic earnings up to a certain level but not enough that I would stop pointing out what scum the right wing were. This wouldn't however effect my entitlements not that it would make a blind bit of difference to the level of tax you pay if it did. so If paid more than that allowance I would be busy enjoying my life for a bit.

People will always gamble because they see it as the only way to escape from the poverty, inequality and unfairness of the Tory State. Unfortunately closing the shops won't stop them, it will just drive them underground. Probably better to keep the shops open and spend the taxes on progressive socialist policies designed to rid us of of the inequality.

People are poor because that is their choice. Rich people are at the top of society because they work hard, poor people do not. People like you; communists, socialists, liberals should be jailed for life.

Rich people are rich because the poor work hard and the rich make **** sure that the poor stay poor. Watch the demand for workers suddenly skyrocket now the rich don't have to pay their workers any more. A days graft on a building site would kill most people earning over £40k

Why would anyone who can earn £40k want work on a building site, although the hours are very attractive. Roll up 9am breakfast 10 until 10-30 lunch 1pm until 1-45 down tools 3-55pm, 2-30 on a Friday then work Sat morning because the job is falling behind.

I find it a bit rich that New Liebour politicians are bemoaning the amount of gambling establishments when it was the Liebour party who brought in the Gambling Act 2005 and allowed the wholesale expansion of the industry in general.
It is in the interest of the Liebour party to keep the poor, poor. Otherwise who else ( apart from the imported army of immigrants they've let in ) would vote for the hypocritical bunch of losers.

I don't agree with Philip Davies's take on betting shops, like all major cities Bradford has more than enough of these outlets, much better to keep other retail outlets not in use for other types of businesses. At a time when Bradford's regeneration is at full steam ahead this is a good time to say thanks but no thanks to any more betting shops in the city and these new government rules will certainly help in that.

Obviously Philip and his friends have been busy on this comment section again. Wonder if his live in big mouthed Tory bike is one of them?

Why is it every time the Tories are struggling one of them starts spouting "it wasn't us it was them" like school kids?

I think after years in charge they could have changed things if they were so against them.

Thing is once they are in they make things 50 times worse than it was under the previous party. And if they are ever proved wrong they just change the law and backdate it. Tory party members are all in it for what they can gain for themselves and who ever is paying them the most.

Lastly the only reason Roly is voted down so often is because more Tories read these papers. Simple really isn't it.
